Over the last year, I got hooked on the show One Tree Hill. It’s your classic early 2000s show, following Lucas and Nathan Scott as well as, all their friends in the small town of Tree Hill, North Carolina. The show began in 2003 and ended after it’s ninth season in 2012. The show is filled with heartbreak, humor, and teenage angst. Recently it was confirmed that a reboot is in the making.
The core five are, Lucas, Nathan, Peyton, Brooke, and Haley. Everyone is aware that after season six, Lucas and Peyton left the show. Burton, who played Peyton, revealed it was due to a toxic environment on set.
It’s no secret that this reboot is going to be starring Hilarie Burton and Sophia Bush. I have some mixed feelings about this. On one hand, Peyton is my favorite character and nobody can beat the blonde- brunette duo. On the other hand, what about the rest of the group? What about Lucas, Nathan, and Haley? Joy Lenz, who plays Miss Haley James Scott, is still very good friends with Bush and Burton– they even have a podcast where they break down each episode of the show. So, I would be very surprised if they don’t even mention Haley.
Now believe me, I love Chad Michael Murray but it’s been confirmed he isn’t coming back. I think Bryan Greenberg should make an appearance in the reboot. You might know him as Jake Jagielski, and his character deserved better and he was one of the only guys in Tree Hill that was truly a good person. So I think he should come back with his daughter, Jenny, all grown up. Jenny wouldn’t be the only Tree Hill kid grown up; by the end of the show basically all of our main characters had children. It’s been a rumor that the reboot will be all about Peyton and Brooke raising teenagers. So from that we know we’re getting Sawyer Scott, and Jude and Davis Daker. But, when the original show was running we saw Haley and Nathan’s kid, Jamie, from ages four to nine, andt would be cool to see him all grown up. Then in the ninth season Haley and Hathan had a second child, their daughter Lydia. I would love to see all these kids being this generation’s Nathan, Lucas, Brooke, Peyton, and Haley. We can only wait and see, I guess only time will tell.
Something that has always scratched my brain is how the children are named. Haley’s son is James Lucas, or Jamie, because her maiden name is James and her best friend is Lucas. Peyton’s daughter is Sawyer Brooke because of her maiden name and best friend. And the same goes for Brooke’s son, Davis.
One of the biggest questions I have is what are Peyton and Brooke doing for work these days? Is Peyton still running Red Bedroom Records? Does Brooke still have Clothes Over Bros? The truth is after high school they both jumped straight into working so they can’t change their occupations.
Also, what about the parents? Mainly Victoria, Brooke’s mom, and Karen, Lucas’s mom. Towards the end of the show Victoria started appearing more and Karen less. I also wonder if Karen’s daughter, Lily, will make an appearance since she was the same age as Jamie during the first run.
So many questions and not enough answers. Only time will tell. I’m so excited to see what they do with the show and characters. Who they bring in for the teenagers, all of it! You already know I’ll be watching every single episode, so stay tuned because there will be a review.
